Kitchen Manager

At Langley, we are a family‑owned hospitality group operating small to mid‑sized 3–4‑star hotels and resorts in the French Alps, the Austrian Alps, on Corsica and in Guadeloupe (French West Indies). We believe in active relaxation, personal service and authentic destinations.

Our operation in the Alps

In the Alps, Langley operates ski hotels in carefully selected resorts known for great skiing, beautiful surroundings and a relaxed, international atmosphere. Our concept combines active days on the mountain with cozy, social evenings in the hotel where the restaurant and bar are at the heart of the guest experience. We focus on warm, personal service, high‑quality food with inspiration from both local and Scandinavian cuisine, and a friendly team spirit that makes guests want to return season after season.

We are currently looking for kitchen managers to join our teams in multiple locations for the winter season.
